Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold and three other municipalities were merged
into Viken on 1 January 2020.
Valentin Poposki, 16 January 2020
The merger was opposed in all three counties which were to merge
both before and after the implementation - even the local government
has made the reversal its main goal.
As a result, it was decided by
the national parliament in 2022 that the merger be reversed. On
2024-01-01, Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold counties were
re-established and their original arms were readopted; since their
flags had actually been banners of arms, they were automatically
readopted as well.
